Question

3х + 2 — 5х = 10 just need help

Answer 1

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation

`3х+2-5х=10`

Step 1

add similar terms

`\begin{gathered} 3х+2—5х=10 \\ -2x+2=10 \\ \end{gathered}`

Step 2

subtract 2 in both sides

`\begin{gathered} -2x+2=10 \\ -2x+2-2=10-2 \\ -2x=8 \end{gathered}`

Step 3

divide each side by -2

`\begin{gathered} -2x=8 \\ (-2x)/(-2)=(8)/(-2) \\ x=-4 \end{gathered}`
